Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has been a widely studied green technology to obtain triterpenoids (TTs) enriched extracts from various vegetable matrices. This review covers research advances regarding the SFE of TTs, with emphasis on biomass sources, operating conditions and their optimization, modeling. As in other applications supercritical technology, carbon dioxide is common solvent adopted, being generally modified small amounts cosolvents (e.g. ethanol, methanol) increase TTs...
Acidogenic fermentation (AF) is often applied to wastes produce short-chain organic acids (SCOAs)—molecules with applications in many industries. Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are a residue from the industry that rich carbohydrates, having potential be valorized by this process. However, given recalcitrant nature of waste, addition pretreatment step can significantly improve AF. In work, several strategies were SCGs (acidic hydrolysis, basic hydrothermal, microwave, ultrasounds, and...
